Introduction

The University of North Carolina’s (UNC) Board of Governors (BoG) has delegated the responsibility for intercollegiate athletics to campus chancellors under the Code’s Delegation of Duty and Authority. This delegation is subject to the requirements and mandates of BoG Policy 1100.1 (see Appendix A) and the annual BoG report requires disclosure of the academic characteristics and performance of the UNC system’s student-athletes. It is aligned and synchronized, where possible, with the information campuses previously reported to the NCAA and the U.S. Department of Education. This report fol-lows all reporting standards required by the BoG, including recommendations made in the 2011UNCTaskForceReportonAthleticsandAcademics,whichPresidentRossrequiredall UNC campuses to implement in 2012. Inthisreport,informationfor2012-13ispresentedregardingtheacademicprofileof freshmen student-athletes, majors of student-athletes that have attained at least junior status, and various academic success indicators. Additionally, this report provides infor-mation touching on athletics fundraising and private foundations that support student-athletes and athletic departments at UNC institutions. Universities with programs receiv-ingawardsorsanctionsduetotheiracademicperformancearealsohighlighted.Finally,information is presented regarding non-academic violations of NCAA bylaws relevant to student-athletes and prospective student-athletes. Information regarding new academic integrity regulations adopted in April 2013 will be included in the next UNC Intercollegiate Athletics Report (See Appendix B for the new regulations). These regulations stem from extensive discussions among campus stakeholders and incorporate concepts discussed in the UNC-Chapel Hill Report of the IndependentStudyTaskForce,1theReportoftheSpecialSubcommitteeoftheFacultyExecutive Committee,2andspecificcampuspoliciesatallUNCinstitutionsaddressingmonitoring of academics and student-athletes. As a part of this discussion on academic integrity, courses will be monitored in greater detail, focusing on the clustering of student-athletes, the use of independent study courses, and student records will have new guidelines to prevent unauthorized grade changes. Campuses are working now to implement changes and will be ready to report progress to UNC General Administration (UNC-GA) and the BoG in the next Intercolle-giate Athletics Report.

Exceptions to UNC Minimum Course Requirements Student-athletes, as all students, are subject to BoG Policy 700.1.1 on the “Mini-mum Course Requirements for Undergraduate Admission” and BoG 700.1.1.1[R] on the “Regulations on Minimum Undergraduate Admission Requirements and the Admission of Students Requiring Special Consideration.” Special consideration #6 of the regulation states:

“Other applicants who, due to unusual or special circumstances, do not meet all of the minimum high school course unit requirements but who have achieved a superior academic record, as measured by grades, rank in class, admissions tests scores, the rigor of courses taken, or who demonstrate special talents: institutions may waive some of the minimum requirements for applicants in this categoryuponafindingthatsuchindividualsarequalified.Theprocessresult-inginanexceptionmustincludefacultyparticipationwithfinalauthorizationforan exception to be made by the chancellor.”

Table 1 provides the number of minimum course requirements (MCR) admissions exceptions for all freshmen and recruited freshmen student-athletes in 2012-13, orga-nized by NCAA Division.

• There were a total of 106 exceptions in 2012-13, representing 0.3% of all enter-ing freshmen (32,374).

• Of the total number of exceptions for all freshmen, recruited student-athletes made up approximately 21% in 2012-13, down from 22% in 2011-12 and 30% in 2010-11. ◦ Exceptions for recruited freshman student-athletes represent less than one

tenth of one percent of the total freshmen population (0.07%).

• A total of 1,343 recruited freshmen student-athletes were enrolled at UNC insti-tutions in 2012-13 and only 1.6% of them received an exception.

Student-Athlete Success Indicators

Graduation Rates for Student-Athletes There are several indicators commonly used to measure student athlete success, the three reported here are the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR) for Division I schools, the NCAA’s Academic Success Rate (ASR) for Division II schools, and the U.S. DepartmentofEducation’sfederalgraduationrate(FGR)forstudent-athletes.TheGSRandASRfiguresaretypicallyhigherthantheFGRratesduetodifferingmethodologies.DetaileddefinitionsfortheGSR,ASR,andFGRcanbefoundinAppendixE. TheFGRmeasures thepercentageoffirst-time, full-time freshmenstudent-ath-letes who graduate within six years of enrolling in their original four-year institution. This graduation rate is the same as the traditional six-year graduation rate for all students used by the U.S. Department of Education (IPEDS rates) and reported by UNC annually. The GSRwasdevelopedasanalternativemeasuretotheFGR,astheGSRmeasuresschol-arship student-athletes but includes student transfers and allows institutions to exclude student-athletes who leave their institutions prior to graduation as long as they would havebeenacademicallyeligible tocompetehad they remained (FGRsdonot includethem). The ASR is very similar to the GSR, but the ASR includes student-athlete gradu-ation data regardless of whether or not they received an athletic scholarship. The GSR, ASR,andFGRsmeasurethesix-yeargraduationratesofstudent-athletesandarecalcu-lated using a four-year rolling average by combining student cohorts. AlthoughdirectcomparisonsofcampusGSRs,ASRs,andFGRsarecomplicateddue to the differing methodologies, it can be useful to review how UNC campuses com-pare against their UNC BOG-approved peers and those in their respective athletic confer-ences.

• When comparing UNC institutions with their BOG-approved peers, seven UNC campuses performed as well as or better than the average GSRs/ASRs of those peer institutions.

• A comparison of UNC institutions with their athletic conference peers show that three UNC campuses performed as well as or better than the average GSRs/ASRs of those peer institutions.

NCAA Academic Progress Rates for Student-Athletes The Academic Progress Rate (APR) is a NCAA Division I metric developed to track the individual sports academic achievement by academic terms and is used to determine in-season or post-season penalties. The NCAA’s APR reports for all UNC Division I campuses can be accessed from the APR database: http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/newmedia/public/rates/index5.html. The APR is calculated using a variety of indicators. Each scholarship student-athlete can earn 2 points each academic term (1 point for maintaining academic eligibil-ity and 1 point for returning to the institution in the next semester). Thus, the maximum number of points a student-athlete can earn per year toward the team’s APR is 4 points, 2 per academic term. To calculate the APR, every student-athlete’s academic eligibility and retention are tracked and known as:

• “E” points: a student-athlete meets academic eligibility standards for the next academic term.

• “R”points:astudent-athleteisenrolledfulltimeasofthefifthweekofclassor census date (whichever is earlier) of the next term.

Forinstance,scholarshipstudent-athleteswhoperformwellintheclassroomandare retained earn 2 points toward the team’s annual APR. Those who are eligible to re-turn but depart the institution earn 1 point. A student-athlete who does not perform well academically and leaves school earns 0 points towards the team’s total. The team’s APR is calculated by dividing the total points earned in a year by the total points possible in a year and multiplying by 1,000, so the APR is based on a maximum score of 1,000. InFall2011,theNCAADivisionIBoardofDirectorsvotedtoincreasetheminimumAPR determining post-season eligibility and in-season penalties from 925 to 930 APR. The implementation of this new standard will occur in phases, with full implementation beginning in the 2015-16 academic year. In the transitional phase, the four-year APR threshold for post-season eligibility was initially lowered to 900 and a two-year average is available for individual athletic programs to use as an alternative measure. The four-year threshold of 930 begins in 2014-15, and in 2015-16, there will be no additional opportunity to utilize a two-year average APR to avoid penalties. Table 3 was created to help clarify the transitional phase of the APR increase.5

The new APR structure implemented by the NCAA allows for some adjustments for teams that improve once they enter the second level of penalties. The NCAA Board provided special allowances for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and limited-resource schools by supporting the creation of an HBCU advisory group to study academic performance of student-athletes at those institutions. In addition, the NCAA Board also approved a new three-level penalty structure:

• LevelOne:Limits teamsto16hoursofpracticeaweekoverfivedays,withthe lost four hours to be replaced with academic activities. This represents a reduction of four hours and one day per week of practice time.

• Level Two: Includes the Level One penalty, along with a reduction of four hours of practice time out of season that is replaced with academic activities. This level also includes the elimination of non-championship seasons or spring foot-ball. Teams without a non-championship season face a reduced number of contests.

• Level Three: Includes all Level One and Two penalties, plus a menu of poten-tialadditionalpenalties.Thesemayincludefinancialaidreductions,additionalpracticeandcontestrestrictions,coach-specificpenalties(includinggameandrecruiting restrictions), restricted access to practice for incoming students who fall below certain academic standards, restricted NCAA membership, and po-tential multiyear bans on postseason competition. Teams remain at this level until their APR improves.

Penalties are progressive and cumulative in nature and a team must demonstrate three “clean” years (i.e., without any penalty) in order to avoid progression in the penalty structure described above. The latest APR scores were released by the NCAA in June 2013 and are based on four years of data covering student-athlete cohorts entering in 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12. Table 4 lists the UNC institution that received penalties as a result of

Non-Academic NCAA Violations Along with monitoring the academic work of student-athletes, the NCAA strictly monitors breaches of conduct that “seriously undermine or threaten the integrity of the NCAA Collegiate Model...” (NCAA, 2013). There are four levels of violations, ranging from severe (Level I, e.g. academic fraud) to incidental (Level IV, e.g. inadvertent, isolated violations). Level I violations are shared with the public by the NCAA while Level II, III, and IV violations are heavily redacted and only shared upon request. Since Level III and IV violations are considered isolated and incidental, UNC-GA requested information regarding infractions of Levels I and II by UNC institutions. Twelve of the 15 UNC institutions with student-athletes committed violations during the 2012 cal-endar year and summaries of the one Level I violation and all Level II violations (90) were

AthleticsFundraisingandPrivateFoundations

The UNC campuses that have established private foundations (or “booster clubs”) for the purpose of providing resources to enrich various programs of the constituent insti-tutions are:

• East Carolina University• FayettevilleStateUniversity• North Carolina A & T State University• North Carolina Central University• North Carolina State University• UNC-Chapel Hill• UNC Charlotte• UNC Greensboro• UNC Wilmington

These private organizations are subject to BoG Policy 600.2.5 which requires an annual independent audit be performed and reported to the institution’s Board of Trustees and that a copy be provided to the President to be reviewed by UNC-GA staff. This year’s reports were presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Governors at its June 2013 meeting.

Continued Review of Intercollegiate Athletics

As part of ongoing efforts to improve the academic performance of student-athletes and strengthen campus activities surrounding athletics, there are two continuing activities occurring on UNC campuses and within UNC-GA:

• Campuses are implementing new Academic Integrity Guidelines approved by the BOG in April 2013;6 and

• PresidentRossestablishedtheAthleticsFinancialTransparencyWorkingGroup to review the manner in which the University accounts for and re-portsthefundingandfinancialoperationsofathleticsactivitiesundertakenbytheconstituentinstitutions.TheWorkingGroupwillprovideafinalreportto President Ross at the end of January 2014.

Appendix B - Academic Integrity Regulations

The UNC Policy Manual700.6.1[R]

Adopted 04/25/13

The following set of required procedures will enhance the ability of each UNC cam-pus to monitor and protect the integrity of its curriculum, student evaluation, and academ-ic records. In addition, the appropriate review, evaluation, and supervision of University staff, including academic department chairs and other faculty administrators, will promote an enhanced culture of academic integrity. These procedures are to be implemented in addition to and in concert with the recommendations included in the 2011 Report of the TaskForce onAthletics andAcademics, the implementation ofwhichPresidentRosshas already required. These supplemental procedures stem from extensive discussions among campus stakeholders and incorporate concepts discussed in the UNC-Chapel Hill ReportoftheIndependentStudyTaskForce,theReportoftheSpecialSubcommitteeoftheFacultyCouncil,andspecificcampuspoliciesaddressingmonitoringofacademicsand student-athletes, as well as the report of the Board of Governors Academic Review Panel. The procedures below are grouped by functional area, and each has a corre-sponding implementation date.

1. Registrar and Student Records Best Practices a. All campuses will have clear rules designating individuals (by position occu-

pied) authorized to submit a course grade or grade change, and the circum-stances under which such changes may be made. (September 2013)

b. All campuses will have audit procedures for verifying that only an authorized person submitted grades or grade changes to the student information system. (September 2013)

c. All campuses will maintain an electronic record of grade-related approvals and changes to the student information system. (December 2014)

d. All campuses will have course numbering and reporting conventions that utilize separate section numbers to identify independent study courses taught by indi-vidual faculty members. (May 2014)

2. Evaluating the Academic Performance of Student-Athletes and Other Student

17

Subgroupsa. Using results from the 2013 Board of Governors’ Intercollegiate Athletics Re-

port, General Administration will work with campuses to develop a common thresholdordefinitionofclusteringbystudent-athletesorotherstudentsub-groups thatwill triggeranautomatic reviewofflaggedcourses todeterminewhether there were any irregularities in the reasons clustering occurred. (De-cember 2013)

b. On an annual basis, all campuses will review the course grade-point aver-ages calculated for student-athletes and other student subgroups versus non-student-athletesandotheridentifiedsubgroups.Asummaryofstudent-athletecomparisons will be included in the required Board of Governors’ Intercolle-giate Athletics Report, beginning in 2014.

c. All campuses will have procedures for notifying academic advisors and Aca-demic Support Program staff of any changes made to the course grades of stu-dent-athletes and/or to their course schedules after the designated two-week drop/add period. (December 2013)

3. Review and Approval of Nonstandard Courses and Course Sectionsa. All campuses will have processes and policies to ensure that all forms of in-

dividualized instruction conform to the basic guidelines pertaining to other un-dergraduate courses, including but not limited to a syllabus or learning contract specifying expected student learning outcomes, number of hours of expected work, grading information, and scheduled meeting times with the faculty mem-ber. (September 2013)

4. SupervisionandEvaluationofFacultyandFacultyAdministratorsa. All campuses will have guidelines on the number of undergraduate indepen-

dent studies a faculty member may teach per term. If campuses choose to enumerate a limited number of circumstances under which exceptions to these limits may be approved, guidelines must enumerate the required individuals (by position) who must grant approval. (September 2013)

b. All campuses will have criteria and processes to ensure the regular review and evaluation of all aspects of performance of department chairs. (September 2013)

Appendix E - UNC Campus Graduation and Academic Success Rate Methodologies

ThecalculationsoftheGSR,ASRandtheFederalGraduationRatearedifferent.The core elements of each methodology are:

GSR/ASR Methodologies• The GSR measures graduation rates at Division I institutions and includes

students transferring into the institutions. The GSR also allows institutions to exclude student-athletes who leave their institutions prior to graduation as long as they would have been academically eligible to compete had they remained.

◦ Includes only scholarship student-athletes.• The ASR is the parallel Division II measure and differs from the GSR by

includingfreshmenathleteswhodidnotreceiveathleticsfinancialaid.• TheGSRaddstothefirst-timefreshmen,thosestudentswhoentered

mid-year, as well as student-athletes who transferred into an institution; excludes students from the entering cohort who are considered “allowable exclusions” (e.g. mortality, permanent disability, those who depart to join the armed forces, foreign services, or attend church missions) and those who would have been academically eligible to compete had they returned to the institution.

• IncludesbothFallandSpringsemesters.• Provides a four-year cohort rolling average on the six-year graduation rate.• Both GSR and ASR produce rates by sport.

FGR Methodology• Includesonlyfirst-timefull-timefreshmenenrolledinFallsemester.• Includes scholarship student-athletes.• Does not include transfers in or transfers out.• Provides the most recent cohort and a four-year cohort rolling average.• Bysportdefinedasfootball,men’sbasketball,women’sbasketball,base-
